after I deleted one of account in my Mac, I chose the option to leave the home folder as it is. I regret doing that because now my system data shows 100gb. I tried everything from using applications to accessing the cache file they never showed the 100gb file
iMac 21.5″, macOS 15.5
Things are complicated with the APFS file system. Deleted data may be retained in hidden APFS snapshots associated with Time Machine backups and even some third party backup apps. Usually TM backup APFS snapshots will be deleted in about 24-48 hours assuming backups are being transferred to external media....third party backup software may retain APFS snapshots longer depending on configuration of the backup app.
